What you wrote is a pretty classic description of dissociation. It is that out-of-body feeling that makes everything far away and disconnected. I feel like this when the stress is just too much, for too long and I have to go numb or go crazy. Given how hard you've been working and at the pace you've set for yourself, it makes sense that you'd be outwardly focused and not in touch with yourself.
Sometimes it helps me to cry. Doesn't matter really what about, just the release of emotions makes me feel more grounded.
I always feel like skipping therapy when I feel like this but eventually we find something to talk about and it helps. So hang in there, you'll figure it out.
(how's your health?)
